Contract, Thursday?
Hi Alex, Could we go through the Northwind contract on Thursday? I've marked up clauses 4 and 7, nothing dramatic. Morning works best for me. Maya

A pretend mailbox, so you can have a go.
A great mail app.
That also works with Claude.
Pigeon is a beautiful Mac app for humans writing to humans. When you want a hand, it gives Claude the controls.
A great mail app
Quick to read in, quick to reply from, and it finds anything.

Reply without opening a window.
Press R and a small reply box opens under the email. Type, press ⇧↩, done. Or press E and send a 👍 in place of another "Thanks!" email.
In Gmail, a 👍 shows up as a reaction, not an email.
Email, but richer.
A flight, a parcel, a sign-in code, a pull request. Pigeon spots what an email is and puts the part you need at the end of its row, with a button to copy the code, track the parcel or open the link.

Pigeon has no AI.
It works with yours.

How Pigeon works with Claude
- 1
Click Install.
It's in Pigeon's settings. That's the whole setup.
- 2
Ask in normal words.
"Reply to Maya, Thursday works." Claude reads the thread first, so it knows what Thursday is.

With the right people, the subject and the thread filled in. Change what you like, then press send.

Hi Maya,
Thursday works. I'll bring the contract and we can go through it then.
Speak soon,
Alex

Opened by Claude, just nowOnly you can press Send.
Or start from the email.
Reading something that needs a proper answer? Press C. Claude opens with the email ready to talk about, reads the whole thread, and the reply it writes comes back to Pigeon as a draft.
Halfway through a letter already? Continue in Claude takes your words with it, and the new draft opens beside yours.
Claude's box is filled in, never sent. You press return there, and send here.

CClaudeNew sessionUse the Pigeon plugin to help me reply to an email (“Contract, Thursday?” from Maya Lindqvist). Read the whole thread first and check my tone of voice. Do not send anything.
Typed, not sentThe draft opens in Pigeon
It writes like you. Not like a LinkedIn post.
Pigeon picks examples from emails you've actually sent, and Claude turns them into a short guide to how you write. You can read it, argue with it and fix it. Keep a stiffer one for work.
How Alex writesExample
Tone of voice
- Opens with "Hi" and a first name.
- Says what they want in the first line.
- Short paragraphs, the odd list.
- Signs off "Speak soon," then "Alex".

Privacy
Your mail stays on your Mac.
Pigeon brings your mail straight from Google or Microsoft to your Mac. There's no Pigeon server in the middle, so there's nothing of yours for us to read, lose or leak.

We don't have anywhere to put your mail.

On a plane, on a train, in a tunnel with one bar.

Senders can't see when you opened their email. Load images for one message when you want them.
Claude sees only what it looks up
Just the emails it needs for your question, in that conversation. Pigeon never uploads your mailbox.

Connect your personal Gmail and your work account. They share one inbox and one search, and every reply goes out from the right address with the right signature.

Not for you? Email us within 30 days for a full refund. No questions.
Free for 14 days, starting when you open Pigeon.
Pigeon opens on your newest mail in about a minute and fetches the rest in the background, so your 14 days begin when you start using it, not when you install it. No card, no account. Subscribe from inside Pigeon any time during the trial and your first payment waits until the trial ends. And if you buy and it hasn't earned its perch, you get your money back.
Founding member200 of 200 left
$50a year, for life
The yearly plan, for the first 200 people to take this offer. They keep the price for as long as they stay subscribed. One per person.
Become a founding memberBefore you buy.
Do I need Claude?
Only for the Claude features. Everything else in Pigeon works on its own.
Is there AI inside Pigeon?
Not the kind that writes. Search uses a small model that runs on your Mac, so it finds a message by what it means as well as by the words in it, with filters for who sent it, when, and what's attached. It never sends anything anywhere.
How does the free trial work?
Download Pigeon and use all of it for 14 days. No card, no account. The 14 days start when Pigeon opens on your mail rather than when you install it. Subscribe from inside Pigeon any time during the trial and your first payment waits until the trial ends.
What does a founding member get?
The first 200 people to take the founding offer pay $50 a year instead of $69, and keep that price for as long as they stay subscribed. It's only through the Become a founding member button: every other buy button is the full price. Otherwise it's the same Pigeon, one per person.
Which Macs?
Any Mac running macOS 26 or later.
How many Macs does a licence cover?
Three at once. Moving to a new Mac? Free one up from your Polar account, then add your key on the new one.
How long does the first sync take?
About a minute before you can start using Pigeon: it fetches your newest mail first. The rest comes in quietly in the background, which can take overnight for a big Gmail, and Pigeon tells you when it's all there.
What happens when my trial ends, or if I cancel?
Pigeon stops fetching new mail. Everything already on your Mac stays there, and you can still read and search all of it. Buy a licence and it picks up where it left off.
Is there an iPhone app?
Not yet. The pigeons are in training.
